When Yun Qingting was released from underground by Ling Yi, he immediately burst into tears.
The feeling of being buried underground, unable to see any light, and unable to Perception any external Aura or hear any external sounds due to the Shield-Shield Barrier, nearly drove Yun Qingting to the brink of collapse.
He almost thought that Ling Yi had sealed him here, and that he would remain sealed until he died.
Upon regaining his sight, Yun Qingting burst into tears.
Ling Yi opened a gap in the Shield-Shield Barrier that sealed him, and then heard Yun Qingting's sobbing voice.
"Why are you crying?" Ling Yi asked, touching his nose.
This is supposed to be a cultivator? He looks more like a giant whiny whiner!
"I... I didn't cry," Yun Qingting said stubbornly, wiping away her tears.
"Tell me, why are you causing me trouble? And who sent you to do this?"
"I just want to know why Junior Sister Zining came to find you. Is it because she really has fallen for a farmer?" Yun Qingting's emotions had finally calmed down a bit.
He was, after all, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. His previous breakdown was because he was afraid of being sealed away until he died.
Now that Ling Yi has released him, and his extreme emotions have subsided, he has calmed down considerably.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, was completely unaware of the huge Changes in Yun Qingting's state of mind before and after.
Even more unknown is the terrifying psychological pressure his Shield-Shield Barrier and underground sealing technique will create.
"Who told you that?" Ling Yi asked again.
" Jiang Qingtian is the sect leader's son. I've been used as a pawn by this guy," Yun Qingting said dejectedly.
Ling Yi had a pretty good idea of what was left without Yun Qingting having to say it.
As Yun Qingting recounted, Ling Yi's guess was confirmed.
Jiang Qingtian possesses Sixth Pin Wind Spiritual Root, which is already one of the best Spiritual Root among the Middle Third Pin Spiritual Root.
"If Xiao Zining, with her Eighth Pin Thunder Spiritual Root, hadn't appeared, then barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would have been the next sect leader after Sect Master Jiang Xiaoming passed away or abdicated."
"No, wait a minute, the sect leader's name is Jiang Xiaoming, and his son's name is Jiang Qingtian?" Ling Yi asked with a strange expression.
"Uh, right? What's wrong?" Yun Qingting asked, puzzled.
Are you sure you didn't pronounce the name backwards?
Jiang Qingtian —doesn't that sound more Haki?
"Uh, it's okay, you can continue!"
"I've told you everything I know, can you let me go?" Yun Qingting asked in a low voice.
"You're the son of the Grand Elder, a proper second-generation immortal, how come you don't act like one at all?"
What should a second-generation immortal be like?
Shouldn't you have been a little more arrogant and domineering, saying things like, "Let me go right now, or else..."?
But right now, this guy looks like a quail, which doesn't really Unification second-generation immortal.
"Calculate!"
Ling Yi waved his hand, instantly Shield-Shield Barrier surrounding Yun Qingting.
Then he pointed to the damaged wooden door and said, "Pay the fee for the door, and you can leave."
"Really?" Yun Qingting asked in surprise.
"Otherwise, should we just seal you underground for a hundred or two hundred years?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingting shuddered.
"How many Spirit Stone you need? I'll pay!"
Ling Yi's eyes darted around. This guy was the Grand Elder's only son, the kind who doted on Fei Tian, so he must be very rich, right?
"Hmm, Wu Bai Spirit Stone."
Yun Qingting almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Even her fear of Ling Yi lessened considerably, and she exclaimed, "Why don't you just rob me? This broken wooden door of yours is worth Wu Bai Spirit Stone? Are you sure you didn't mean Wu Bai?"
"No, even Wu Bai is too expensive."
Ling Yi said in a low voice, "Is this a simple matter of the door? This is fate!"
Yun Qingting opened his mouth, then tossed a storage bag to Ling Yi and turned to leave.
Ling Yi chuckled as he saw that he had gained another Wu Bai Spirit Stone.
"I hope to see more of this kind of Big Smarty in the future."
For Ling Yi, becoming stronger and invincible is just a matter of time.
Given enough time, he will eventually become invincible.
And Spirit Stone, in Ling Yi's possession, can just be used to buy time.
Without any hesitation, Ling Yi used all his Spirit Stone to purchase time multipliers within the Farmland Space.
Xiao Zining two million spirit stones, Yun Qingting Wu Bai, and seven million Spirit Stone in total, directly speeding up the time multiplication to 177 times.
In this way, the Dao Comprehension Fruit can mature in less than a day, and the fourth batch of Devil Fruit will mature the Acquired.
As for the Senzu Bean, they can be harvested in just a few hours.
"If the time multiplier were increased to a thousand times, or even ten thousand times, that would be perfect," Ling Yi murmured.
It seems I still need to find a way to get Spirit Stone.
Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Ethereal Sword School, Sect Master Jiang Xiaoming, First Elder Yun Yi, Second Elder Lu Chengfeng, and Third Situ Qing almost simultaneously withdrew their Spiritual Sense.
All four were dressed in plain white robes.
Yun Yi and Lu Chengfeng both looked like handsome middle-aged Uncle.
Situ Qing looked like a middle-aged Daoist nun, with a plump figure and stunning beauty. If she were to carry a Jade Purification Vase, she could easily resemble the Guanyin of the Cosmos.
Of the four, Sect Leader Jiang Xiaoming looked the youngest, appearing to be only in his early twenties.
Needless to say, her looks are stunning; she could debut on the spot in any talent show.
"What do you think?" Jiang Xiaoming asked, glancing at the three of them.
"This boy harbors a great secret; it's probably not just about his Innate Divine Ability," Elder Yun Yi said first.
"That's right. Either they possess a great treasure, or they are the reincarnation of an ancient powerful being." Second Elder Lu Chengfeng nodded.
"That rich Dao Rhyme from before was a rare treasure in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, very similar to the Aura of Dao Comprehension Tea," said Third Situ Qing.
Clearly, they all Perception when Ling Yi consumed the Dao Comprehension Fruit.
Among the entire the Ethereal Sword School, these four had the highest cultivation levels: Yun Yi, Lu Chengfeng, Situ Qing, all of whom were at the Golden Core Late Stage stage.
Jiang Xiaoming, on the other hand, has the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Only the Spiritual Sense of the four of them could cover the entire the Ethereal Sword School without being detected.
"This boy is probably able to Perception our Spiritual Sense. He looked up at our direction several times on the ridge of the field," Situ Qing said.
" Half Moon, he only had the cultivation level of the Qi Refining Second Layer, but in just Half Moon, he went from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment. Moreover, this boy is following the path of Body Refining," Yun Yi said.
"There's nothing to hesitate about. We have two choices: either win them over or kill them and seize the treasure," Lu Chengfeng said, glancing at the group.
"That method of blocking Spiritual Sense is definitely not as simple as Innate Divine Ability." Jiang Xiaoming thought of Ling Yi's Shield-Shield Barrier.
" The Qingting was Sealing and then sent underground, yet even with our Spiritual Sense, we couldn't Probe a trace of it. Do you know what this means?"
The three nodded; they understood.
If Ling Yi escapes using this method, they won't even Perception Perception.
"Then let nature take its course!" Jiang Xiaoming said after a long silence.
"This, senior brother, what if this child grows up..." Lu Chengfeng said worriedly.
" The Immortal Cultivation Realm is currently in a turbulent period. The Demonic Sect has emerged, wreaking havoc on the world, and the seal on the Gate of the Demon Beast Realm is loosening and about to break. It can be said that we are beset by internal and external troubles," Jiang Xiaoming said helplessly.
"It is said that the Blood Demon Patriarch has been Reincarnation and returned to the Blood Demon Sect. His cultivation has advanced even further, and he has already Half-Step Spirit Leaving the Body Realm. Given the grudges of the past, my the Ethereal Sword School will probably be the first to bear the brunt."
"And to the north of my Gate of the Demon Beast Realm, less than a thousand miles away. Once the seal is broken... Alas!" Jiang Xiaoming sighed.
The other three also looked grave.
As Jiang Xiaoming said, the Immortal Cultivation Realm is currently facing a turbulent time, beset by internal and external troubles, and life and death are at stake.
Ling Yi's matter was no longer a big deal.
"And whenever great calamities occur, a Save the World will surely emerge in the world," Jiang Xiaoming added.
"Senior brother, are you saying that this Ling Yi is the savior of the Save the World?" Situ Qing asked.
"I do hope that this child is the Child of Karmic Luck, the Save the World. If so, my the Ethereal Sword School will still have a glimmer of hope."
After a pause, Jiang Xiaoming said, "The Myriad Demon Beast Secret Realm Myriad Demon Beast Secret Realm will open in one month. This may be the last time it opens. We need to be fully prepared and absolutely cannot let the Demonic Sect gain the upper hand."
"When the time comes, give Ling Yi a spot."
"As for Qingtian, cripple his cultivation and send him to the Ethereal City!" Jiang Xiaoming sighed.
All three were taken aback, never expecting their sect leader to be so ruthless as to cripple his own son's cultivation.
"Sect Master, there's no need for that. Qingtian has only gone astray; he's not beyond redemption," Lu Chengfeng advised.
In Lu Chengfeng's view, Jiang Qingtian had only used some scheming methods; surely it wasn't enough to directly cripple his cultivation?
"Yes, Sect Master, we should consider this matter carefully. After all, everyone makes mistakes," Situ Qing advised.
" Qingtian only used some tricks; if anyone's to blame, it's my son for being so stupid."
Jiang Xiaoming said coldly, "That rebellious son is wicked. If it were just this scheme by the Qingting, he wouldn't deserve such a severe punishment. But Half Moon ago, Zining almost lost her life because of Zheng Hao, and that was also due to that rebellious son's scheme."
"Such a thing is true?"
The three elders were somewhat surprised; they truly did not know about this.
" Zining is the future of our sect, possessing a rare, Upper Third Pin Thunder Spiritual Root. Her future achievements will far surpass ours. That rebellious son, for his own selfish reasons, actually dared to ruin the sect's future. Killing him would not be too much of a crime."
Jiang Xiaoming did this not only for the future of the sect, but also because Xiao Zining harbored a huge secret.
Xiao Zining is not only about the future of the Ethereal Sword School, but also about the future of the Immortal Cultivation Realm and the Demon Beast Realm.
Even if the Ethereal Sword School is destroyed, Jiang Xiaoming will still ensure Xiao Zining's safety.
Jiang Qingtian crossed Jiang Xiaoming's bottom line by taking advantage of Zheng Hao's attempt to kill Xiao Zining.
It almost led to a major disaster.
Speaking of which, we should thank Ling Yi for saving Xiao Zining's life back then.
In fact, by the time Jiang Xiaoming discovered Jiang Qingtian's scheme, it was already too late.
If Ling Yi hadn't happened to appear, Xiao Zining would probably have really died then.
These causes and consequences were quite different from Ling Yi's guesses.
